Haydock Park Race 1 - Zyn Pole Position Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
Just three runners line up in this. ANCESTOR (1) made a fair introduction when fourth attempting a 2000m Salisbury novice during May then improved landing a Yarmouth maiden tackling the same trip by 1.75L and setting a high form standard improvement is expected. Tom Marquand takes over and carrying a penalty in this winnable contest will likely prove difficult to stop. TROPICAL SANDS (3) was fourth on debut then third trying 1800m in a Newbury novice when beaten 6.5L. Further development expected and rates the main danger. GOLDEN CAVIAR (2) must show significantly more after back-to-back fifths.

Third race start. First start 5th of 7 at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 4 over 1600m, 11 len behind Lyneham carrying 60.5kg at $41. Returned from break 5th of 8 at Wolverhampton on July 30 over 1900m, 9 len behind Bintward carrying 59kg at $21. Not an appealing prospect despite a scarcity of opponents.

Lining up for just third start. At big odds at debut, 4th of 12 at Lingfield All Weather on May 12 over 1600m, 7 len behind Savvy Disko with 56kg at $29. Second-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Newbury on June 11 over 1800m, 6 len behind Manaar with 58kg at $10. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is sure to play a big role.
